ing last week, while going from Collyer

DIED.-Wednesday, Nov. 80, 1887, Mrs
John Hrencher, living five miles east of
Collyer. The remains were inferred
in The Catholic cemetery Thursday morn
ing; at 10 o'clock.
The Collyer school hereby extend
thanks to Messrs. Bruner, Kessler and
Cortright and Mrs. Wilson for furnishing
instrumental music at the school enter
tainment, and also to the w. r. G. for
the use of their benches.
The W. R. G. are already making prep
arations for the Chr ristmas eve entertain
ment, and those expecting to give presents
can have them placed upon the tree by
bringing them TO the G. A. R. hall during
Saturday afternoon. A further notice,
with the program, will appear next week.
The weather for the past few days has
been exceedingly nice, and the deep snow
which lay on the ground only few days
ago has most all disappeared, leaving the
ground in wet condition. Farmers are
undoubtedly glad to see the snow leave,
as some are short of rough feed.
The cold, cloudy and disagreeable
weather of Thursday and Friday was not
very acceptable, especially to those inter-
ested in the school entertainment, and
when Friday night came with its rain,
snow and sleet,. how could their bitter
disappointment be expressed? Only a
few gathered at the school house, and the
musicians being unable to face the storm,
the entertainment was not the best; but
Saturday morning the sun shone out so
brightly, and clouds vanished beyond the
horizon, and foretoid such pleasant
evening, that it was decided to give the
entertainment again that evening. The
decision was circulated throughout the
neighborhood, and a much larger audi
ence assembled than that of the previous
evening. But few changes we're made in
the program as published, they being ad-
ditions. It would be an impossibility to
mention everything, but we noticed that
Entertaining Her Big Sisters Beau
received loud applause, as did also
the negro dialogues and the tab
leau "Sheet Music" The possession of a
good memory was noticeable in the deliv-
cry OF "The Leak in the Dike," by May
Morgan, and Little Katie Knocking at
the Door of Heaven" by Clara Bundy.
aMarco Bozzaris" and violin solo were
well given by Walter j. Siebert. The
solo, "For Goodness Sake, Don't Say
Told You," was exceedingly we'll rendered
by Bessie Siebert. Several instrumental
pieces interspersed the program, which
were listened to with great interest. The
principal feature of the evenings enter
tainment was "The Two Puddifoots,"
farce, the cast of characters being, "Pud-
difoot, sr.," w. ]. Siebert; "Puddifoot,
jr," s. A. Swiggett; sMr. Buffaloes."
Thos. Fike, a man cut out by Nature for
a quiet life; sCaroline," Bessie Siebert,
his niece; peggy" May Morgan, his
servant, and "Mrs. Figsby," Mary Buudy,
his landlady. In some parts this was
very laughable, especially when peggy"
came in with her comic speech. The |
whole was good, and received we'll de-
served applause The entertainment was
closed with song, "Good Night" which
was very appropriate. This being sue
cess, the prospects are that another will
be given in the future. w. @.
